Abstract
Placement of virtual machines on physical hosts are based on differing initial policies and optimization policies set by a system administrator to more efficiently utilize system resources and serve the needs of different workloads. A scheduler mechanism allows a system administrator to select different initial placement policies for one or more host groups of physical hosts. The scheduler mechanism utilizes an optimizer that monitors host performance and adjusts the placement of virtual machines according to another set of optimization policies similarly selected by the system administrator for each of the host groups.
